Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 391 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently reported significant problems with orders, often receiving incorrect or missing items. Many also experienced extremely poor customer service, characterized by a lack of response to emails and calls, making it difficult to resolve issues. Delivery services were consistently criticized for being slow, unreliable, and often failing to provide tracking information, leading to long waits or unreceived parcels. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied, noting that some orders arrived complete and sometimes with fast delivery. Some reviewers also mentioned receiving refunds, either directly or through third-party services, which helped resolve specific issues despite initial problems.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. They take your money. Won’t send the items. Won’t reply to emails.

They only conveniently got in touch… not with me but my bank when I raised a dispute. Even then they’re lying saying they’ve sent the items.

DO NOT USE

DO NOT USE: they take the money, never post the item and do not reply when you contact them. Had to contact my bank to get my money back. Absolutely do not use

Wish I'd seen the previous reviews…

Wish I'd seen the previous reviews before I placed my order. Having been waiting for over a month for my delivery placed on 13/12/25, after 3 emails chasing finally had an email back to say the parcel was lost and would I like a replacement or a refund. Asked for a replacement and 2 weeks later have still not received my order. Have also emailed them 4 times since then to ask if this has been dispatched and STILL no response received. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, use Kings Candy instead as I've placed 3 orders in this time and all arrived quickly with all correct items. Update: Have since received the order but like everyone else half the order missing.

Avoid

They took my money, and didn't send me my order. That was over a month ago. They are not responding to my emails. Avoid like the plague.

Do not use!

Like these reviews, I placed an order 21 December which hasn't arrived. Following 1st enquiry, co.sent an email saying 'on its way' 30 Dec with no additional info/updates. Emails bounce back, no phone contact. Spoke to bank and claiming chargeback.

Don't bother ordering, you'll not get it anyway…

Ordered a specific flavour only to have normal items delivered and late. After contacting them to say they had sent the wrong things, they just said they ran out of what I'd ordered so sent them in it's place. Didn't inform me, or ask if it was ok. Didn't offer refund and just stopped replying.

Made an order on the 29th December. It says they were dispatched on the 8th January. Sent 4 emails and still not received my order or had any response. Disgusting and so unfair for the ones at a loss.

I wouldn't even rate this place 1 star

I wouldn't even rate this place 1 star! Taking peoples money and never delivering the orders. I put a post on a facebook group and was appalled at the amount of people who commented saying they didnt receive their orders either. Please avoid!

Theft and liars!

Took them 3 weeks to send out my parcel after saying they’d already sent it out. I only received half of my items even though they took the whole amount out my bank when they apparently sent my parcel so I’m out of pocket. Then to top it all off they never reply to any emails with any updates or even a im sorry here the money back for the items you didn’t receive. For saying they are a ‘big’ company they steal money from you! Don’t waste your time or money with this company!

Shipping takes weeks

Shipping takes weeks, feels like they using stackry to order the stuff as and when people order! Would be quicker to get it direct from the US. Don’t use this website

Customer service is an absolute joke

Customer service is an absolute joke!
i never actually received my order, I ordered mid November 2025. It’s January 2026 and iv given up trying to chase it up and come to terms it’s never going to arrive, £120 down the drain. My 3 kids but their money together and I chipped in to help them as they wanted to try some sweets from around the world. 3 very upset kids that now have no money and no sweets.
